In Bali’s beautiful green highlands lies the town of Munduk, with pure nature. A great place to visit if you want to relax and enjoy the breathtaking landscape that Bali has to offer.

There are also a lot of taste experiences waiting for you, as coffee, cocoa and all kinds of fruits are grown here. In addition, you can enjoy the beautiful waterfall close to the city and take a dip in the water.

7. Lovina

Take a trip to Lovina if you want to get up close and personal with the locals. You can even go fishing with local, experienced fishermen. Lovina is also home to a huge market where you’ll find traders from all over the world, and your imagination is the only limit to the goods you can buy.

Finally, make time to head down to the beaches of Lovina, which are blackened by volcanic sand and are a must-see on Bali tours.

8. Goa Gajah – Elephant Cave

Near Ubud you’ll find a rock-cut cave with an entrance shaped like a demon’s mouth. This is Goa Gajah or Elephant Cave, as it is also called.
